New YORK, June 29.-In regard to the
sale of block of $4,000 shares of Man
haitian stock by Cyrus w. Field to Jay
Gould, the Times says: "Jay Gould and
Russell Sage are triumphant. Cyrus
w. Fields scalp has been taken. Field
made brave fight, but did not realize
till the end came that he was to be
struck down in the very house of his
friends. The terrific tumbling given to
Manhattan stock settled all questions
as to the purpose of the precious pair,
and the convictions thus formed were
made indisputable when early in the
panicky time of Friday one OF Field 8
personal brokers had to 60 begging
around the street for an extension on
his contracts. No hint of this
had been made public. Had il been
announced during the troublous scenes
of the Stock Exchange. a sweeping
panic could not have been stayed. 1t is
the generally accepted belief that Field
has been obliged to seek Gould's favor
by swapping big block of Manhattan
stock for the needed money. Fifty
thousand shares of stock, it is said,
have been given up by Field. The first
quoted price was $l25, but before busi-
ness closed it generally passed on the
Stock Exchange that Gould had been
obliged only to pay $50 share for the
five millions he had taken. The prob.
able average cost of this stock to Field
was close on to 500 per share.
THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO DEAL.
The Epening Sun says: Wall street
took on squirt of excitement just at the
close of business on ticker report that
Gould had acquired the Baltimore and
Ohio telegraph lines by purchase from
Robert Garrett. Ever since Alfred
Tully made his ridiculous failure to pur-
chase the Baltimore and Ohio on an op-
tion given him by Garrett, that option
has been held by Henry I. Ives. Ives's
option covers the railroad telegraph and
all other allied rroperties and was re.
newed last Saturl ~ until the middle of
July. While that ootion holds good
bobody but Ives can iuy or sell the Bal
uiinuTe anu OulO hhiirOhu OF Tue loie-
graph. Ives is after the railroad and
don't want any telegraph. He has not
an idea that Gould does want another
telegraph and that he can be induced to
take the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph,
thus making it easier to pay for the
railroad. Negotiations to that effect
were in progress yesterday and it is not
unlikely they may succeed, that is if
Ives can manage to buy the telegraph
and railroad at Garrett's terms. Gould
will take the telegraph off his hands at
his own (Gould's) terms and that is this
exact situation at the present writing.
PACIFIC MAIL STOCK
Was resting quietly at the close of bust
ness and friendly relations were pro-
claimed between Gould and Hart. Hart
has sold all the stock he proposes to at
present prices and claims to have enough
stored away in his safe to secure his con-
troll. He will not resign the presidency
nor does Gould ask it, but he has ten.
dered Gould one or two more directors if
he wants them.

California University.

California University.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-The COM
mencement exercises at the University
of California to-day attracted a great
throng of people. 1t was intimated
that owing to the action of the faculty
in the case of one of the graduates, re-
fusing to grant him his degree, that the
entire class would refuse to accept their
diplomas on "class day." One week
ago the son of San Francisco merchant
was named as dispensator. This young
man, in the course of his attempts to
create amusement, called student and
q young lady to the stage and before
the lady hardly knew what was trans.
piring, the dispensator had performed a
mock marriage ceremony, uniting her
to the gentleman. The young lady was
highly incensed, and complaint was
made to the faculty and the matter laid
before the regents, who took action on
1t yesterday at their meeting. They
decided that the offender had been
guilty of gross breach of good
manners aud announced that as a pun.
ishment his degree should be withheld
from him. The class held an indigna-
tion meeting and threatened to refuse
their diplomas, but thought better of it
to-day and diplomas were issued to all
but the offender. The faculty, however,
decided to grant it also at the meeting
of regents two weeks hence. An ad.
on behalf of the university was deliv.
cred by the Hon. John F. Swift. Daniel
c. Gilman, president of the Johus
Hopkins university of Baltimore and
formerly president of the California
State University, arrived in Berkeley to.
day and was cheered by students and
spectators when he appeared at the

porter of the President. that you have
come out to California with any view to
accepting the presidency of the Cali.

Kissane, alias w. X. Rogers, this morn

Court, to the suit begun some time ago

appears that the defendant was within
the State of New York and subject to
the jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of New York for the sixteen months
next following accruing to the complaint
of the alleged cause of action, and that
no action of law was ever instituted
upon said alleged cause of action in
